The Story of India with Michael Wood

A must watch for everyone. He has really spent time to understand India and its civilization. A good work done by Michael. There were many instances which actually made me believe the connection between rain, monsoon and movement of civilazitions, the vedas and what actually made them write.

Michael Wood is a Historian and presenter par-excellence, with whom you can easily relate and live the adventure through the documentaries.He easily brings forth the local essence and culture and seemlessly blend the present to the past. This documentory is excellent account of India`s 3000 year journey till independence and her transformation from the Indus to Ganges, Myths to Madness, carefully de-coding our history.

I have also read and own other works of Micahel Wood:- In the Footsteps of Alexander the Great- In Search of Myths and Heroes- The Story Of India

There are critics who debate the historical evidence of the Aryans and more, however to me this is an documentory worth possessing and I recommend this DVD edition as an "Collector`s Item" and which can be enjoyed over and over again, each time with an rendition of its own.

"The Story of England' is the next series I eagerly look forward from Fellow of the Royal Historical Society - Michael David Wood

The weaving of historical events with the relevant visuals and splendid commentary makes it a collector's item. I have never been a keen student of History but the DVD bound me to see all the 6 episodes in quick succession. It is also commendable on part of Wood that he has made delicate balance on controvertial events viz partition of India or Ayodhya conflict.

Amazing, well researched documentary

It amazing to see Michael Wood presenting the history of India. He has divided the history into 6 parts for this documentary, which he is tracking back to 10,000 years. He is trying to relive the history by going through various places and trying the imagine what would have happened at that time. He is so passionate about the history that you feel going through history once again. Must watch for people who are interested to know history of India.

This documentary must serve as the platform on which any education on Indian History is done. It is perfect !! Hats off to Michael Wood. Explains the history of India in a way I hadn't ever imagined it to be. Speaks volumes on stories that most Indians aren't even aware of. A true eye opener. A must have for every Indian.
